So it is a good thing that it is hard to brute force a Bitlocker encrypted volume and that no one knows of a secret pattern. While from a security perspective, if Bitlocker had any backdoors, or general keys, or a kind of algorithm built in that would generate close to actual keys, (like a filter or like if the number of possible keys for unlocking a Bitlocker drive are theoretically 10^48 possible keys, while the implementation of Bitlocker for the masses and general population only has actual 10^12 possible combinations that follow a secret formula or pattern that can be used to attack and unlock a (people version) Bitlocker drive), if any of these were implemented in a Bitlocker drive, then it wouldn't make any sense to encrypt a drive using Bitlocker and from a security perspective it would be BAD! It just happens, sometimes, out of bad luck, that one might forget the password for their Bitlocker encrypted volume or partition. A highly simplistic attempt to brute-force lost Bitlocker password!
